Time to do it again

I have my desktop all set up so that I can work on my websites and preview and stuff without having to upload the files to my web host to preview. I have EasyPHP installed so I can develop in php and mySQL. I set up my hosts file and the apache config so that I could access my websites on my desktop easily. It’s a nice setup.

Now that I have the laptop, I’m not using the desktop any more (or at least not as much). I plan on leaving my music and pictures. That’s working great. I even have my work laptop in the same network as the desktop and the laptop so I can listen to the music on my laptop while I’m on work and not have to disturb the desktop.

I’m thinking of leaving my website files there as well. I was able to map the folder on my desktop that has the files as a network drive on my laptop (really easy … woohoo). I downloaded Eclipse the other day and EasyPHP tonite as well as php 5.2.2 (so I have the same version to develop with as where my websites live). I’m hoping I can set up everything like I had it on my desktop so I can get back to working on my websites.

I want to fix the layout here. The script I found to make the sidebars the same length as the main don’t always work the way I’d like (I think due to js pieces loading slowly). And it needs some freshening up. And I had plans to create a new racing site too. I’d better get my ass in gear on that one since the season is starting soon. They’re already testing at Daytona.

So … off to try to get stuff set up. Hopefully I don’t end up tossing my laptop across the room. I’d better not. Not after waiting as long as I did to finally get one.
